The practical module includes a practical phase. The practical phase is to be completed as part of a compulsory internship in a company or an administration (practical site) outside Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. The compulsory internship extends over a period of at least eight weeks for a minimum of 320 hours. If required by the operational circumstances at the internship site, the period of the mandatory internship can be extended to up to 24 weeks. If the practical module is successfully completed, 12 CP are awarded in any case. Upon request, the practical phase can also be completed within the framework of a research project in which professors of the Department of Business and Economics are involved. Further details are regulated by the audit committee.
